VCE Vblock™ Systems Series 700 Architecture Overview
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
The Cisco UCS data center platform unites compute, network, and storage access. Optimized for
virtualization, the Cisco UCS integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 GB Ethernet unified network fabric with
enterprise-class, x86-based servers (the Cisco B series).
Vblock systems contain a number of Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis. Each chassis can contain
up to eight half-width Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers or four full-width blades. In Vblock systems, each
chassis also includes Cisco UCS fabric extenders and Cisco UCS B-Series Converged Network Adapters.
The VCE Vblock Systems Series 700 Model LX Port Assignments Reference provides information about the
assigned use for each port in the Vblock system. Refer to
Accessing VCE documentation.
Vblock systems powered by Cisco UCS feature:
•
Built-in redundancy for high availability
•
Hot-swappable components for serviceability, upgrade, or expansion
•
Fewer physical components than in a comparable system built piece-by-piece
•
Reduced cabling
•
Improved energy efficiency over traditional blade server chassis
The VCE Vblock Systems Blade Pack Reference provides a list of supported Cisco UCS blades in Vblock
Series 700 models. Refer to
Accessing VCE documentation.
